Overview - About this Assignment

In Electronic Media II, you not only produce a television show – you come up with a detailed idea for your own creative television series.

How many times have you said, “This would make an awesome TV show!” or, when watching a show, “I could totally write that!?” All of these series got their start somewhere… and, many times, they began with the creative vision of a screenwriter and a Series Bible.

Are we talking about a religious text? Well, not exactly, but actually? Sort of…

“A bible for screenwriters is a reference document used for information on a series’ characters, settings, and other elements.” (shamelessly from the Wikipedia entry for Bible (Writing)).

Get creative! Many times, students find it easier to write about something they know a lot about from personal experience. What, for example, might Ms. Shultz write a series about? “The Life and Times of TPS Television,” perhaps? You might also find it fun to write a parody of a show or movie you’ve seen, or an adaptation of a novel you’ve read (“The Great Gatsby” – the miniseries?). For this assignment, you will come up with your own unique idea that could be developed into at least 6 episodes.
